Sažetak
Backup power is defined as any device that provides instantaneous, uninterruptible power. The term UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is an often-used term, but sometime this refers to systems that supply A/C power, or systems that supply power for no more than 30-60 minutes. Our definition includes all types of power outputs and all backup times. Typical applications for backup power include: telecommunications systems, IT and computer systems, manufacturing processes, security systems, utility substations, and railway applications. Backup power systems are employed in cases where the loss of power results in a significant reduction in productivity or financial loss. Proton Energy Systems, a leader in PEM electrolyzer technology, has been developing regenerative fuel cell systems for back up power, renewable energy and space applications. Fully functional prototypes/demo units with power output of 4.5 kW and 1 kW have been developed and demonstrated. The systems include Proton’ s PEM electrolyzers with pressurized hydrogen storage sized to provide back-up power for up to 8 hours.
